Sorry ckparrot, I've been thinking but can't come up with anything good. I like SGT dolphins idea best.
Not sure if people remember this but, years back (I would say 15 years) Monday night football was in Tampa. They were showing the crowd and someone had a "Howard Cossell" sign. They made a comment about how Howard had many fans in Tampa. As soon as they made said comment, they went back to the person with the sign who realized they were filming and had another part of the sign that was hidden (Poster paper was folded in half) from the camera.
The whole sign said "Howard Cossell sucks" they all started laughing in the booth and quickly went back to the field.
I suggest trying that, not original but rather funny.
FYI, I always liked howard.
